Escape From IAFF Foiled IAFF Vice-President and soon to be Cal-PERS pension guru Kelly Fox apparently thought escaping 1750 New York Ave. would be as simple as cutting the barbed-wire and then an easy jog to freedom. Nien! Like it or not (probably not) he has now been dragged into the Schady-Schait / “Edzo” orchestrated […]

America’s Dumbest Video Am I the only person who has noticed that “Edzo” is just two short letters from Bozo? Bozo was, until the appearance of “Edzo”, our most famous clown. Bozo, like Edzo, made films, his best being Bozo’s Big Top. But Edzo’s latest film is no clowning matter. In it he trashes the […]

A Fool and His Microphone IAFF General Secretary-Treasurer Ed “Edzo” Kelly was in the 7th district this week making a fool of himself while simultaneously embarrassing our union as he campaigned in the district vice president race there. In a reprise of the famous ventriloquist Ed Bergen and his side-kick Charlie McCarthy, Kelly was Shady […]

Jeff Sessions Feels the Love Donald Trump all but fired his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, in an interview with the New York Times yesterday. He said, “Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked […]

How About a Little Self-Control? George Washington, President Number One, is known to have been a man of few words. Historians point to his rather humble beginnings and his lack of a formal education as reasons for his relative silence. He was also in the company of intellectual big dogs, Adams, Jefferson and others, who […]

Out-Foxed? Recently elected IAFF Seventh District vice-president Kelly Fox is reported to be resigning from the board to take a position with the California public employee retirement system, a.k.a. CalPERS. Sources say he held his cards close to his vest, or at least close enough that Harold Schaitberger did not know until just about everyone […]

Mr. Blow Writes In What a tragic missed opportunity. Harold and the entire board could have justified an all expenses paid trip to London. It could have been one of those ‘fact finding’ missions. First class travel, of course, 5 star hotels, luxury dining. Chauffeured Rolls? Hmmm…maybe a bit too much. Go with the Jag. […]

Asleep at the Switch or Worse On June 14, 2017, a fire consumed Grenfell Tower, a residential building located in North Kensington, London, killing 79 and injuring many more. Rarely has a building fire garnered so much attention for so long a period of time. Social media and the ghastly imagery are making sure that […]

A Lefty with a Gun It’s been a long time since lefties were running around shooting, kidnapping and bombing. I recall some of it during the Vietnam war in the early 70’s. America was sorely tested by an avalanche of tragedies including the murders of MLK, RFK and the war. Richard Nixon, a figure once […]

Ripping Off Sick Kids Donald Trump’s ghastly behavior, his lying, bullying and abuse, have caused more than one person to say, “wait, I know that guy.” That guy being Harold Schaitberger, of course. Forbes, the business magazine, dropped a bombshell this week that Eric Trump’s pediatric cancer charity was paying huge sums to the Trump […]
